ST. IGNACE 26, MANCELONA 20 (OT): The Saints came from behind and capped their rally by beating the Ironmen in overtime in a Ski Valley North vs. South matchup Friday night.

Saints senior quarterback Tyler Snyder was 9-of-14 for 120 yards passing and two touchdowns — including a 19-yard toss to sophomore Gage Kreski and a 54-yard strike to senior Kyle Winkelman.

Snyder's 1-yard TD run in OT provided the winning score.

Kreski turned in a pair of game-saving interceptions for the Saints. His interception on the goal line on the final play of regulation forced OT. Kreski also picked off a pass in the end zone to deny Mancelona's OT possession.

The Saints trailed 14-6 at halftime, but got within 14-12 when James Helms returned the second half kickoff 85 yards for a TD.

Eric Wheeler had a pair of TD runs for the Ironmen, who dropped to 0-2. Wheeler's 41-yard TD run gave the Ironmen a 20-12 lead in the fourth quarter.

The Saints tied the contest on Snyder's 54-yard TD pass to Winkelman, followed by another Snyder to Winkelman connection on a 2-point conversion pass.

Brandon Oja ran for 42 yards on eight carries, but suffered an ankle injury late in the first half and did not return. James Cryderman had 40 yards on nine carries. Winkelman caught two passes for 74 yards, while Kreski had four grabs for 43 yards.

NORTH DICKINSON 36, NEWBERRY 12: The Indians couldn't contain the big plays, and fell in a Mid-Eastern Conference game against the Nordics Friday night.

Chris Ducsay ran for 117 yards on 21 carries, and had touchdown runs of 12 and 5 yards for the Indians (1-1). Steven Livermore added 57 yards on 13 carries and John Paramski had 33 yards on 12 carries. Paramski was 3-of-8 passing for 23 yards.

The Indians ran 63 plays to the Nordics' 35. But North Dickinson outgained Newberry 322 to 237 in total yards.

"We had some penalties and turnovers that stopped us from scoring," Newberry coach Fred Bryant said. "We played better in the second half, so hopefully we can carry that into our next game.

"They (Nordics) are a good, tough football team," Bryant said. "They come off the ball and get on you real quick."

The Nordics led 28-0 at halftime. Running back Tim Hruska had touchdown runs of 34 and 44 yards, while quarterback Logan O'Neill had TD runs of 63 and 2 yards and Matt Schultz had a 16-yard TD run.
